First Image Of Jessie Eisenberg As Lex Luthor Revealed

The highly-anticipated Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice movie is under a year away from release, and we now have our first look at one of the main villains in the film – Lex Luthor – played by Jessie Eisenberg.

The new pic (via Entertainment Weekly) follows from the official images released of Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

Director Zack Snyder says of Eisenberg’s Luthor that “he’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure. Other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another to himself. And bald of course”.

He added that “Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake. He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there”.
